ONE Albuquerque Newsletter

Posted on by
Hello Albuquerque,

This week, legislators from all across New Mexico will convene in Santa Fe for the special session. This is an important opportunity to address the various challenges our communities are facing, especially when it comes to public safety. As a former state Senator, I know that the constraints of our state Constitution and having only 60/30-day sessions leave little choice for urgent and important policymaking. I always support the ideas of a special session to have more time to address the big issues in our state. 

We look forward to working together with partners from all over the state to develop meaningful solutions that can enhance public safety and improve quality of life for all residents. We are also bolstering our own programs to fight crime and curb homelessness. Earlier this month, we joined the community to celebrate the opening of the ACS headquarters. This innovative public safety team has exceeded expectations since being established in 2021, and continues to improve response time and service. Additionally, APD recently completed a proactive transit safety operation along the Central corridor which resulted in 106 felony warrants cleared and 65 felony arrests. And last but not least, we’re investing in our front line workers. We signed a historic collective bargaining agreement with IAFF Local 244, and now all labor unions have these multi-year agreements.

Tonight, Wednesday, July 17, we will be hosting a telephone town hall where City leaders can answer your questions and will be discussing City projects and updates, from community center improvements to crime fighting efforts to summer resources for the whole family. Register for the town hall online.

We also invite you to save the date and join us in person on Saturday, August 17 at the ABQ BioPark Zoo for the annual State of the City address. State of the City is free and for all ages, so bring the whole family and enjoy an evening at our incredible zoo.

We deeply appreciate your shared commitment to improving our city. Albuquerque is worth fighting for, and we will continue to work each and every day to make it a better place for our friends and families. 

Sincerely,
Mayor Tim Keller

IDO 2023 Annual Update – LUPZ Hearing #2 May 15th

Posted on by

The City Council’s Land Use, Planning, and Zoning (LUPZ) committee will hear proposed changes to the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO) on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 5 pm. This hybrid meeting takes place in the Vincent E. Griego Council Chambers, basement level of the City of Albuquerque Government Center, 1 Civic Plaza NW and via Zoom.

LUPZ is expected to hear a presentation by staff, take public comment, vote on proposed amendments, and send the bills to the full City Council for hearings in June.

Proposed amendments include legislative changes that affect properties citywide and small area changes that must be decided as a quasi-judicial process (e.g., Councilors act as judges rather than legislators). You may speak to Councilors directly about any of the citywide changes, but you may only speak to Councilors about small area changes during public hearings. 

For questions, please contact Matthew Cox, Council Planning staff:

Attend the Hearing

  • See the Agenda posted here for details, including Zoom details and instructions for giving verbal comments at the hearing.
